  • Interesting "camp" Scene

    While looking for resources for a class I was teaching on the Civil War, I stumbled on this image in the LOC collection and wanted to share it because I thought it was a cool image with a lot going on.



    Take care,

    Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a studio camp scene before. Very interesting.

        The glove/hand creeping into the image at the bottom is a rather odd part of what's going on here too.

          The image of a face created by the folds in the sleeve of the one reclining.
